Update expiring user target for flags

Schedule the specified user for removal from individual targeting on one or more flags. The user must already be individually targeted for each flag.

You can add, update, or remove a scheduled removal date. You can only schedule a user for removal on a single variation per flag.

Updating an expiring target uses the semantic patch format. To make a semantic patch request, you must append domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch to your Content-Type header. To learn more, read Updates using semantic patch.
